>>>I have a local view in a grid, which can be edited. When the user uses the down arrow to move down a record, it seems like the file pointer isn't actually moved down one until the fields are tabbed through. In other words, it seems to not have correct data in the grid1.column1.text1.value until the field is tabbed into. Does this make sense? I'm doing a calculation using a field that they don't tab into and it's using the data from the previous record.

Okay, but how does that value get put in the column? For example, do you have code in the AfterRowColChange() method? Is that how you're handling the calculated column?

>It is using the value of column 6 in the row above to do the calculation. But, if I tab through column 6, then come back, it uses the right one.

What's the sparse setting of the column?

Hm. How about this? Instead of me guessing and driving you nuts with questions *g*, open your form with the class browser, select the view code button, then email me the code. Tell me what the grid's name is that you're having trouble with.

> It's like it hasn't refreshed to the new value or something. I don't actually move any record pointer, I just assumed that it was when the user used the down arrow to go down a row (or several rows, as long as they use the arrow).
